I trained in Drawing and Painting at the Edinburgh College of Art and I work mostly in the disciplines of acrylic, mixed media and watercolour. Much of my subject matter is derived from the Natural World, particularly the landscape of the West Coast of Scotland and Perthshire. I respond to the abstract and spiritual elements of natural forms like rock strata, rivers and seas, trees and lichens. My palette is drawn from such natural things as wet pebbles, leaf forms and light and reflection on water. I am an Associate member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art whose aims are to celebrate traditional and experimental approaches to drawing. This gives me annual exhibitions and group shows throughout theUK
